Dallas ICE agents put their lives on the line to usher migrants to safety as crazed sniper shooter Joshua Jahn opened fire at them — with some officers braving a storm of bullets to return to a transportation van and rescue more detainees, new surveillance video reveals.
Chaotic footage shows two agents ducking for cover behind white vans to shield themselves from gunfire during the bungled rooftop attack that killed one migrant and injured two others Wednesday.

Several agents reportedly left the facility and faced gunfire to return to one of the vans, the outlet reported.
One agent in full tactical gear is shown opening the driver’s side door of the van in an apparent effort to usher more stranded migrants to safety, the station reported.
A second officer, wearing blue rubber medical gloves, was seen doing the same while motioning for help.

Surveillance video shows Dallas ICE agents taking immediate action as the facility was under assault.

“Hopefully this will give ICE agents real terror, to think, ‘is there a sniper with [armor piercing] rounds on that roof,” Jahn wrote in a note he left behind.

The agents crouched down as the shooter, Joshua Jahn, unloaded his rifle from a sniper’s nest. Federal Surveillance FootageThe shooting was the third violent attack or threat on ICE facilities in the past four months, Nancy Larson, acting US Attorney for the Northern District of Texas, said Thursday.
The attacks on ICE come as some critics on the left blame the agency and its officers, instead of policymakers, for immigration laws they believe violate human rights and hurt the economy.
